The classically trained Charles Stepney honed his skill as a jazz pianist and vibraphone player through his work for the Chess label in the 1960s, eventually graduating to sheet writer, arranger, and producer. His friend Marshall Chess—son of label owner Leonard Chess—had founded Cadet Concept as a younger subsidiary of the Cadet label, and their first release was the 1967 debut by a conceptual group called The Rotary Connection, formed by Marshall Chess with Stepney acting as co-producer and arranger.
